Prime Video’s new series, ‘Off Campus,’ has sparked discussions due to its intimate scenes and the age difference between its stars. Ella Bright, 19, who plays the lead role, addressed these concerns during a recent podcast appearance. Bright stars alongside Belmont Cameli, 28, in a series known for its partial nudity and romantic scenes, which has led to some viewer discomfort.
Addressing Concerns
On the ‘Not Skinny But Not Fat’ podcast, Bright explained that she was fully aware of the role’s demands before accepting it. She expressed confidence and comfort with her co-stars, emphasizing the familial atmosphere on set. The show’s creator, Louisa Levy, also confirmed that Bright was well-informed and comfortable with the role’s requirements.
Levy mentioned that an intimacy coordinator was involved to ensure all actors were comfortable during filming. The series, based on Elle Kennedy’s book, portrays college life and relationships, with Bright’s character, Hannah Wells, navigating her own romantic journey.
Viewer Reactions
While some viewers have questioned the appropriateness of a 19-year-old filming such scenes, Bright and the production team have reiterated their commitment to ensuring a safe and respectful environment. Bright noted that her character’s portrayal, including wardrobe choices, was intentional to reflect her backstory and personality.
Despite the controversy, Bright remains enthusiastic about her role and the series, highlighting the importance of understanding the characters’ dynamics and the story’s context.
